Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th…

Power Electronics racks are stored in an electrical cabinet. A DC bus of 585-715V links the units (650V nominal).
This high-speed FESS stores 2.8 kWh energy, and can keep a 100-W light on for 24 hours. Some FESS design considerations such as cooling system, vacuum pump, and housing will be simplified since the ISS is situated in a vacuum space. In addition to storing energy, the flywheel in the ISS can be used in navigation.

The capacity of a flywheel is the total energy stored – the rating is the rate at which energy may be extracted. A 1600kWhr capacity unit may have a rating of 25000kW for 200 seconds. A spinning flywheel therefore can be regarded as a heavy duty storage battery – the only limitation on rating being the capability of the power transfer means.

Energy storage flywheel systems are mechanical devices that typically utilize an electrical machine (motor/generator unit) to convert electrical energy in mechanical energy and vice versa. Energy is stored in a fast-rotating mass known as the flywheel rotor. The rotor is subject to high centripetal forces requiring careful design, analysis, and fabrication to …
